Ok so this is a question more aimed at creatives overall (as in for writing, drawing, hcs etc) because I'm curious how people approach it - but anyone is free to answer!
Read the descriptions for each choice below the poll for more context!
So the question is...
As far as species/anatomy/general biology goes, how do you see this creature?
As it presents - a bipedal bean with floaty hands
something humanoid-passing or adaptive enough to be stuffed into a spacesuit
whichever of the above is more convenient for how I'm exploring them
some secret big-brained other option (pleease share your xenobio thoughts? 👀👀)
people put thought into this??
For context on each answer that chara limit nerfs me on:
Basically face value, you might have some cool headcanons or worldbuilding but you adapt it to suit the bean!
When I say "humanoid passing" I literally mean it can be made to take on a convincing human form, so long as it's in what we recognize as astronaut/ space suit - this ranges from basic humans to sentient slime or gas, to anything inbetween!
As an example for the mix - I write my ocs under premise of the second option, but I really like drawing them beanlike like the first option! It's just easier to wrap my head around the humanoid interpretation for writing for me.
I have no clue what people could do that falls outside the main options but I have faith that someone out there has done something really cool and I'd LOVE to hear how you've re-envisioned the beans
I know I'm putting too much thought into it - hence this poll!! /silly
And if you have any extra thoughts or want to share your hcs in general please feel free! I want to hear what people do with the silly space beans 👀👀👀👀👀
And if you answer, I'd love if you could reblog -I'd like to get lots of input! Tysm!!
